Narrowing a Ford HP D44

 

^^^^ jealousy

 

Please understand that this is a legitimate question and I'm not being a jerk. But what is the purpose of the rear diff vent extension? Thanks

 

rear diff vent extension is for playing in water to get the vent above the water line if not you can get water into your axle and that is all kinds of bad

 

Is it possible to wire switches onto the steering wheel? I wanna put my KC Switches there. I noticed some of y'all with '00's and '01's have switches on the wheel from the factory.. So is it something anybody could do?

 

Thank you very much

 

I would think If you picked up a steering colum with cruise control from a '97-newer XJ ,you could rewire the wheel switches to control relays for whatever you'd like, grab a haynes/chilton book and take a look at the wiring for the colum. run low amp power thru the switch to a relay and go from there...

 

These are good ideas!

 

So what do you need some kinda special swivel connecter to turn with the wheel?

 

I think every thing in the wheel switches wise is powered by something called a clock spring. Look it up from what im tole there a PITA to work with.

 

the problem will be you cannot modify a clockspring to work with aux switches.

 

You don't need to modify the Clockspring. The signal going through the steering wheel can be used to energize a relay. The relay will control the flow of current to the load.

 

how do the sensors differentiate between the electrical signals then?

i would think this would only work if you rewire the cruise controls like another poster said to use the existing circuit paths.

 

If you want to continue to use the Cruise Control then all bets are off....can't be done.

 

I dont have cruise control, no buttons in the wheel as of now
